Hi all
Just wondering which engine oil is best, or worth buying?
Any recommendations for oil in a p38 2.5d 1997?
Just don't want to put bad oil in when I change it this weekend
Thanks in advance

Asda oil is fine, no need to go for expensive stuff, just change oil and filter more often, your diesel engine will love you for it. You need at least semi synthetic to keep turbo happy.
